Item details
Rationale: The Special Education department is requesting approval for a new position of Certified Behavior Analyst to be added to the management salary schedule (job description attached).

Creating this position and hiring in house will reduce costs paid for outside services and allow the department to work more efficiently to complete required assessments within legal timelines.
